"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM MERCEDES DATED MAY, 2016 REGARDING RECALL # 20160220003 FDRIVE-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE. NHTSA RECALL #16-V-081.

THEY ADMIT IN THEIR LETTER THAT IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND WILL MAKE IT THEIR "HIGHEST PRIORITY". APPARENTLY, THAT MEANS THEY NEED SOMEONE TO DIE FIRST. MAYBE SOMEONE HAS...I DON'T KNOW BUT WILL SURELY LOOK INTO IT. THEY CLEARLY HAVE NO SENSE OF URGENCY REGARDING THIS ISSUE OR FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

RECALL CLEARLY STATES THIS IS A "LIFE THREATENING" SITUATION, YET NO PLAN IN SIGHT TO KEEP MYSELF AND MY FAMILY SAFE. UNSETTLING IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
